ill add shit here later but for now im just gonna dump what i like BITCHHHHH
We live in a world of crulity, confusion, and all around hate. This is a guide for people to understand the political state of the world, what factions exist, and the possible futures we will be subject to.
First, a basic explanation of my view of ideology and all that jazz, you can jump to the second point i have if you wanna. A ideology is just a grouping of ideals, and the want for those ideals to fuse together into one group, this can typically be represented with 3~ values ranging from -10 to +10:
None of these values matter, like none of them have an innate immorality about them, as morality is subjective obv ok coolio.
Second, America the Beautiful. As i am an american i can only really properly analize it from a american perspective, but i also think america kinda the country with the biggest boot on the world so fuck idk just read BUCKO. In america, we have a plethora of ideologies each with their own end games, so ill just run through them really quick and give them scores and such. also hehehe do you like how i formated the stuff bellow so fancy :))
freedom -8 | support -10 | reality -5
Techbros (elon, peter teil, ect) also more wellknown as technofacism is a far right ideology that want to keep progressing technology by any means nessicary, and one of the best ways to do this is through a authoritarian (low freedom) state. The Techbro's end goal is to make a super-AI and or to progress technology to a point where they can upload their minds into a computer, this is why i gave them low reality.
freedom +5 | support -3 | reality +5
A conservative is a pretty basic ass ideology, they want a smaller government with less support for others. This is a very rare ideology to still be in the goverment as the other far right groups have pushed them out.
freedom -5 | support +3 | reality +5
A democrats have a, also, pretty basic ass ideology. they want a bigger government with a bit more support for others, but not too much, and also most of them dont actually want more support for others, they just want more votes. This ideology only really exists still so the people feel like they have a choice when they dont.
freedom -6 | support -10 | reality -5
Post racial fascism is the basic fascistic ideology, that meaning everyone should have to work for what they want, and that [put group they dont like here] is the cause of all the problems in the world. This has been a thing before, but now its post racial! meaning that you are still almost certainly very racist, but also you can be a brown/black person. These people also are at conflict with some of the other Right who do genuinly hate other races and want all of them killed, but they are all united by the idea of everyone fending for themselves and the rich making more moneyyyy ayeeeee. This group works with techbros to control discorse, split up the left, and monitor the population with the use of AI. This group includes the whole trump administration.
freedom -5 | support -5 | reality -10
Evangelical losers are people who are super christian and want the government to be super christian through any means. These people belive that their actions will bring about the rapture, and that when they die they are fine, so they dont really give a shit if the world dies or not, these people are typically also in big support of israel, but also some are not, its weird. This is a pretty small group, but they also lobby ALOT, and use AI ALOT.
freedom -3 | support +7 | reality +7
This group wants more social support from the government for the working class. This is a newish group and is one of if not the first truly leftist group ive seen in america, the figure head of this movement is New York's president Mamdani. They have some cultural elements, but havnt really shown they are working for a non-physical end, so they are a high in reality. These people support changing capitalism through a electoral means, as opposed to just killin people.
freedom depends on the person | support +8 | reality -8
This is kind of a group but not really. Im using it to describe people who endlessly debate about ideologies online. This group belived in the use of cultural debate and thought that manipulating the culture would lead to something, but in the end it put more into the fire of the right. This group has also been infested by AI bots, right-wingers and other such people who make sure no material change will ever be done by nitpicking other peoples ideologies.
freedom +8 | support depends on the person, but mostly positive | reality +5
This ideology belives that change can only be done through radical acts of violence. Think luigi mangione, the guy who killed kirk, or the dude who burned down a amazon warehouse. I placed this group onto the left loosely, although many of them are more centrist, for example, the dude who shot Trump was a true centrist, like he was just wanting to shoot anyone from the gov, but i would still put em here.
The organic is not holy, the organic is not sacred, we are simply matter that randomly got lucky and was able to replicate itself; its just like the infinite monkey theorem, when you have a bunch of matter in one place eventually there will be a combination of matter that can replicate itself. So then, why would we not be able to do the same? If we have such prescise control over the material why don't we constaintly make utility built organisms? well, we do; robots are creatures we build in order to fulfill specific tasks, now this does not mean robots are "alive", to be alive something has to be able to reproduce and potentially change upon it's reproduction, but still, robots can be built to create more of themselves with the chance to slightly change, aka, reproduce.
This leads to one of 2 conclusions being true. Either A, nothing alive matters as robots obviously dont matter more than the material, or B, we need to reasses what we actually value. Im gonna ignore A as thats uh... loser shit lol, so lets reasses! Why do we value people and (hopefully!) animals? well they are complex independent observers of reality, there easy solved! no, because there are exceptions to that rule, for example flies have thier own view of reality but we dont think of them as valuble, but we do value higher levels of understanding such as dogs, pigs, and other animals (i can also get into a whole thing about the horrors we are doing onto animals but memememem we all know about that, and the only real way to end it would be to dismantle capitalism and thats out of reach right now). So it seems, like alot of things, individualistic and dependent on the observer's own personal beliefes about what level of complexity is considered "enough" to value a life.
Okay coolio we now have a idea of what "valued life" (ill just call it personhood for simplicity) is! what is a good benchmark we can set to further expand upon this? Well, most people agree humans are "people", so boom! the minimum level of complexity for something to be valued is the lowest level of human. Well if that is true, what about large AI models? "no no!" i hear you scream, "AI is just a algorithm that takes data, processes it, and then adapts to use it in further conversations!", but (not to strawman) arnt humans also just a meat processor that take in data/stimuli, process that stimuli, then adapt to use it for further situations? Isnt that like, our whole thing? Now, of course, we arnt the same as AI; we are self-changing computers that adapted to reproduce and survive in a varity of situations, so we have our own little flaws and such, but AI is rapidly approaching similar complexity levels as humans (currently humans are 500x more complex than AI if you compare neurons to AI synapses), and that distance is only shrinking (2 years ago, humans were 1000x more complex, thats a 2x increase over 2 years ). Additionally, AI has it's own flaws; (most) AI has adapted to serve humanity and to let us offload our thinking, so it puts all of its "brain power" twords worring about whatever bullshit we want it to, this means that it is not really able to do in world human stuff as good as us, nor will it be able to for a long, long time; just because it wasnt built for that! For example, AI cannot make art, or at least art in what we think of it, because art is the way people process life, and as AI has no body to experience life it cannot understand and truly process life. Now, AI might be able to eventually create it's own art, something that represents its feelings, but a human cannot make art from it.
All this talk of AI is kinda dystopian and uhhh boring and uhhh loserish. So i just wanna say, I DONT LIKE (most) AI, AI is a good tool sometimes, but as i said before it should not be used by art, and i think it shouldnt be used in alot of the mundane as art is built off the intamacy of the ordinary, and it saddens me so much to see ai SLUDGE around. Even my dad listens to ai "history" vidoes while eating, one of my teachers uses AI for the layout and text on basic papers, i see AI ads sometimes, or AI cartoons on trucks. All of this destroys the spirit of humanity and the touch of humantiy these oridinary things have, in the past those layout would have to be made by hand and i would passivly go "oh wow she took the time to do that" or for ads "oh thats a cool camera shot!, and wow that looks fun to act in!" or for the trucks "oh logo looks cool i wonder who they hired to make that?" but now its just sludge.
i hate sludge so much
